This study is a heartfelt biblical reflection on the righteous anger many feel after the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. Drawing from Psalm 4 and Ephesians 4, we explore how believers can mourn and experience anger without falling into sin, trusting God’s justice and seeking unity. Heaven encourages us to process grief and anger in a way that leads to spiritual growth, peace and hope, reminding us that God’s presence brings comfort even in the hardest times.
Are we truly responsible for one another? We’ll see in this study of the Torah passage שֹׁפְטִים Shoftim (“judges,” Deut. 16:18-21:9) that leaders must take accountability for justice — even when a crime seems distant or unsolvable. The laws of ancient Israel aren’t just relics; they reveal a universal call to judge righteously, without bias or self-interest. Whether it’s the murder of an unknown victim or the integrity of our daily decisions, the Torah insists we recognize the divine mandate for justice.
In a world increasingly detached from morality, these lessons feel more urgent than ever. Righteousness isn’t optional. It’s essential.
Some believers in God’s Messiah become enraptured with Bible study and/or prophecy to understand “hidden” meaning and timelines for the Day of the Lord. In Luke 12 and Matthew 6, Yeshua continued a parable-filled teaching on how God wants one to be truly prepared for that day: preparing one’s heart and mind then doing God-ordained tasks in the real world.
